The impending meeting between the National Security Advisers of India and Pakistan is meaningless as other meetings held in the past 66 years.  Indian leaders have been hoping against hope that something concrete will come out to create a peaceful and meaningful relationship between these two nations.  Unfortunately, that has not happened so far and this writer is very pessimistic about any fruitful outcome in the foreseeable future.  Any time the leaders in New Delhi and Islamabad try to initiate action towards developing better relationship and peaceful atmosphere, an untoward incidents happen to derail that objective.  The latest instance is what happened in Gurdaspur, Panjab and Udhampur in the state of J & K right after the meeting between Modi and Nawaj Sharif in Ufa, Russia.  Therefore, one can see that the problem is not with the civilian governments in Islamabad, but the real culprit is the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI which does not think it is in their best interest to see any improvement of relationship between India and Pakistan.  Hence, the plea whether or not India produces evidence each time there is a militant attack from Pakistan, is baseless and useless and a sheer waste of time, resources and energy.  It is not going to do any good unless Kashmir issue is settled.  As far as Kashmir issue is concerned, both India and Pakistan have made a very clear categorical statements at each level of government establishments not to let go Kashmir.  So, it is a catch 22.  If India is not willing to let go Kashmir, then why bother keeping these meetings?  Am I missing something?
